To promote the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China, it is urgent to form more powerful growth poles as soon as possible, and the urban agglomeration in central and southern Liaoning is worthy of an important task. What's more, this area also has the first national-level metropolitan area in Northeast China, the Shenyang metropolitan area, which was approved last year.

In order to show greater responsibility and action in the revitalization of Northeast China in the new era, Liaoning is shouldering a heavy responsibility and striving to walk out of Liaoning's "path" on the development path of seeking Chinese-style modernization.
The Liaoning Provincial Land and Spatial Plan (2021-2035) (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") was recently officially approved by the State Council. This means that Liaoning Province will rely on the "Planning" to make overall arrangements for the protection, development, utilization and restoration of its provincial land space.
As an important old industrial base in the mainland and an important area to promote the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era, Liaoning will also strive to find a new path of high-quality development and sustainable revitalization, show greater responsibility and action in the revitalization of Northeast China in the new era, and strive to write a chapter of Chinese-style modernization in Liaoning.
The reply reiterates the relevant requirements in terms of building a solid spatial foundation for safe development, building a territorial space system that supports the new development pattern, systematically optimizing the pattern of territorial space development and protection, maintaining the seriousness and authority of the plan, and ensuring the implementation of the plan. Among them, for the urban agglomeration in central and southern Liaoning, the reply emphasizes the need to enhance its economic and population carrying capacity, enhance the core functions of the Shenyang metropolitan area, promote the construction of regional central cities such as Jinzhou, Anshan, Yingkou and Dandong, and ensure the development space needs of strategic emerging industries and advanced manufacturing.
One is an urban agglomeration with absolute influence in regional development, and the other is the first national-level metropolitan area in Northeast China that has been approved.
The urban agglomeration of south-central Liaoning is located in the south of the northeast region of the mainland, the south-central part of Liaoning Province, and is close to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. It is an area of the same age as the Republic and an industrialization process that has started more than 70 years ago, as well as an area that has taken the early steps of urbanization on the mainland.
It is worth mentioning that under the impetus of industrialization, the urban agglomeration of central and southern Liaoning has formed the Shenyang metropolitan area and the Shenyang-Dalian (Shenyang-Dalian) urban corridor that stretches for 450 kilometers. It is not only an important part of the Bohai Rim region, but also an important gateway for the opening up of the Northeast region, and plays an important role in the implementation of the "Belt and Road" construction, the promotion of new urbanization and the comprehensive revitalization of the Northeast region.
To promote the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China, it is urgent to form more powerful growth poles as soon as possible, and the urban agglomeration in central and southern Liaoning is worthy of an important task. What's more, this area also has the first national-level metropolitan area in Northeast China, the Shenyang metropolitan area, which was approved last year.
The reply emphasizes "improving the core functions of the Shenyang metropolitan area", which undoubtedly adds an important "weight" to consolidating the basic attributes of the revitalization and growth pole of central and northeast Liaoning. It is important to know that the Shenyang metropolitan area, which aims at the "integrated construction" of transportation, industry, environmental governance and public services, is relying on the vast development hinterland and resources to continue to show its huge "siphon effect", which brings about the rapid gathering of various production factors, thereby promoting the development of Liaoning Province to burst out a strong driving force.
Located in the center of Northeast Asia, the Shenyang metropolitan area is an important gateway hub for opening up and cooperation with Northeast Asia, with obvious regional advantages. The metropolitan area has the earliest, largest, complete and complete industrial base of important equipment manufacturing and raw materials in the mainland, and is one of the "industrial cradles" of the mainland, with a strong industrial foundation and a complete industrial system. Obviously, the urban agglomeration in central and southern Liaoning has a unique advantage in realizing the organic connection with major regional development strategies.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the urban agglomeration in central and southern Liaoning is not only the core area of economic development in Liaoning Province, but also an important leader in the economic development of Northeast China. As the core urban agglomeration for the revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China and an important pioneer area for the revitalization and development of the old industrial base, the urban agglomeration in central and southern Liaoning is also the primary area for the integration of Northeast China into the process of globalization.
It is foreseeable that in the future, the urban agglomeration in central and southern Liaoning will continue to optimize the spatial layout, make full use of the coastline resources in the southern coastal areas of Liaoning, accelerate the speed of development, and improve the quality of development. As required in the reply, it is necessary to strengthen the coordination and linkage between the urban agglomeration in central and southern Liaoning, the urban agglomeration of the Shandong Peninsula and the urban agglomeration of Harbin-Changzhou, actively connect with major regional strategies such as the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, give full play to the role of the hub and gateway of the Northeast region, and create a new highland for opening up and cooperation in the Northeast region.
